Chapter 231

Somewhere in Destiny headquarters, Otto quietly watched the replay of the past on the screen, which was the scene of him being bullied during his childhood.

However, surprisingly, no anger or dissatisfaction appeared on Otto's face.

On the contrary, his eyes gradually became soft, even with a trace of warmth.

Because he knew deeply that this seemingly painful experience was actually an important turning point in his life.

It was that person who was about to appear, like a beam of light, illuminating his originally gray childhood, giving him endless warmth and strength, thereby changing his life.

Back to the screen.

On the other side of the high wall, a white and delicate small hand appeared quietly, accompanied by a faint rustling sound, causing Otto to stop crying involuntarily.

He widened his curious eyes, staring tightly at that mysterious position.

Suddenly, a little girl struggled to poke her head out. She had long hair as white as snow, which flickered with a soft and pure luster under the sun, breathtakingly beautiful.

Especially her blooming smile, innocent and pure, as if it could instantly melt the cold ice in people's hearts, giving endless warmth.

Little Otto was deeply shocked by this sudden smile, he had never seen such a sincere and kind expression, that smile seemed to be conveying a kind of unprecedented beauty and hope to him.

At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten the previous pain and grievances, only attracted by this smile.

The audience in the livestream room also instantly recognized this little girl—it was Kallen! Little Kallen!

She looked exactly the same as Theresa at this time, the familiar appearance made everyone sigh at the passage of time.

Kallen saw Otto crying, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she asked with concern.

"Wow!!!"

"It just flew so high!"

Kallen's voice was crisp and pleasant, full of innocence and vitality, which was what Otto was missing at this moment, and also the purity rare for many children of this era.

She mistakenly thought that Otto was crying because she threw the model airplane over the wall and couldn't pick it up, so she climbed onto the wall while speaking, and sat down steadily.

For Otto, who had always been imprisoned within the Apocalypse family, Kallen's appearance was undoubtedly a huge surprise.

He had never seen anyone outside the family, so when Kallen's strange yet kind figure came into view, he instantly forgot to cry, just stood there blankly, his eyes flickering with surprise and curiosity.

After Kallen sat down on the wall, she carefully took out Otto's model airplane, her face filled with a heartwarming smile, like the bright sun in spring.

"Did you make this?"

Otto responded while sobbing: "I made it..."

Listening to Otto's words.

Kallen carefully examined the model airplane in her hand.

In her eyes, this was an incredibly exquisite and interesting thing.

Kallen couldn't help but exclaim, her face full of admiration and surprise.

"Wow!!!"

"You are so amazing!"

"You will definitely become a great inventor in the future!"

Listening to Kallen's praise.

A smile bloomed on Otto's face, unprecedented.

This was... from childhood to adulthood, the first time... the first time he received such heartfelt recognition!

The first time he received such praise.

Coming from a girl of the same age as him.

The first time he wasn't denied... but recognized.

It was also at this moment that Otto's life was changed!

At this moment, Mei's eyes were locked on the light screen, where Kallen's figure was shining under the sun.

In an instant, she seemed to have traveled through time and space, understanding Otto's persistence and attachment spanning five hundred years.

She and Otto, both in the trough of fate, encountered that girl who was as warm as light.

It was them, with selfless love, who pulled them back from the abyss of despair.

"Otto, I finally understand your persistence in those long years." Mei whispered, her gaze turning to Kiana's back, her thoughts drifting back to the days at Chiba Academy.

At that time, Kiana's smile was like the warm sun in the afternoon, piercing the haze in her heart, and that hand holding her arm tightly gave her the strength to be reborn.

Bronya seemed to notice Mei's mood, her gaze flowed between Mei and Kiana, and finally fixed on Kiana's figure focused on the livestream room.

"Mei-sister, people of the Kaslana family can always touch people's hearts in the purest way." Her words carried a hint of emotion.

"Indeed," Mei responded, "their simplicity and directness can often stimulate the most sincere emotions."

Fu Hua also joined the conversation, her voice calm and full of wisdom: "Kallen's small action, perhaps just out of curiosity, unintentionally planted an eternal seed in Otto's heart."

"Just like what Kiana did for me," Mei continued, "her kindness and courage gave me a new life and made me understand what true salvation is."

Bronya nodded in agreement: "Otto's feelings might be similar to ours. At that moment, he was illuminated by Kallen's light, and from then on, his world was no longer dark."

At this time, Kiana turned her head, her eyes flickering with excitement, but she didn't notice the conversation between the three.

"Look, she really looks like Auntie! It's like the same person!" She pointed to Kallen on the screen excitedly.

Mei smiled and responded: "Yeah, but Kallen's gentleness seems to be purer, without a trace of impurity."

Bronya added: "If you could worry the Principal less, perhaps you could see her gentle side more."

Kiana pouted: "Why is it my fault again?"

Fu Hua laughed: "The Principal actually has her gentle side, but you haven't understood it deeply."

At the other end of the conference room, Theresa was staring at Kallen on the screen, complex emotions surging in her heart.

"Perhaps, I should also try some new hairstyles, although twin tails might not be suitable for me." She muttered to herself.

Himeko teased from the side: "What, want to change your style? However, no matter how you change, you are that unique Theresa."

Theresa smiled bitterly: "Yeah, but sometimes, I really envy those girls who can grow up freely."

Himeko patted her shoulder gently: "You are already the light in many people's hearts, Theresa. And everyone has their own growth rhythm, no need to rush."

Theresa heard this, and a warm current surged in her heart. "Thank you, Himeko. Sometimes, I really feel that it's so good to have you all."

At this moment, Kallen in the livestream room not only illuminated Otto's past, but also warmed everyone's heart.

Her appearance, like a beam of light, pierced through the boundaries of time and space, connecting the past and the present, allowing everyone to feel that pure kindness and warmth.

Back to the screen.

While admiring Otto's skills and talent.

Kallen looked at the model airplane in her hand with slight regret.

She made a sound of pity.

"Pity..."

"It's broken..."

Otto held back his tears, gently wiping away the moisture from the corners of his eyes.

He looked up at Kallen standing in the sun, his voice carrying a hint of shyness and unease, and spoke carefully.

"If you need it..."

"I can..."

"Make another one for you..."

Kallen's eyes flickered with love for the model airplane, and she immediately bloomed with a bright smile, saying happily.

"Really?"

"Thank you!"

The dim light in Otto's eyes seemed to be reignited at this moment, flickering with unprecedented brilliance. He felt the feeling of being needed for the first time, and it was also the first time he witnessed someone so happy because of his work. This sudden recognition made Otto's heart full of incomparable joy, far exceeding all his previous joys.

Although he didn't know the name of the girl in front of him at this moment, this strangeness didn't diminish the joy in his heart.

Just as he was immersed in this rare joy, Kallen suddenly widened her bright eyes like blue gems, and under the sun, her pupils flickered with moving luster.

She looked at Otto with a smile and introduced herself.

"My name is Kallen!"

"Kallen Kaslana!"

"What's your name?"

Otto was still timid, but responded with incomparable joy.

"Otto..."

"Otto Apocalypse."

Kallen: "Then Otto..."

"Can we be friends?"
